The Smitten Sleep System

The Best Baby Box for Newborns

Safe Sleep is Easy with Smitten Baby Box

It’s our goal to make safe sleep an easy choice for moms. Other safe sleep options, like cribs, aren’t always convenient when baby falls asleep. With the Smitten Baby Bassinet Box, a safe place for the baby is always nearby.

The Smitten makes safe sleep simple for families. Now, caregivers don’t have to choose – they can keep baby close by and also in a safe sleep space.

It’s is a lightweight, portable bassinet that parents can easily carry with them from room to room. Infants can sleep in Smitten for up to 6 months, the riskiest period for SIDS and suffocation.

How Baby Boxes Help

Introduced in Finland in the early 1900’s, baby bassinet boxes became a part of a concerted effort to reduce infant mortality. Since then, Finland’s infant mortality rate has decreased from 65 infant deaths per 10,000 to just 3 infant deaths per 10,000. Similar sleep box programs have been implemented in other countries with equal success.

Why Safe Sleep Matters

Sleep-related infant deaths are the most common cause of post-neonatal infant mortality. In 2013, approximately 3,434 infants died unexpectedly. And, nearly half of these deaths were attributed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). ‘Unknown’ and ‘accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed’ contributes to the remaining causes. Fortunately, health care provider opinions can strongly influence how parents place their infant to sleep.

Currently, there are several research studies underway in the US and Canada. These studies are examining sleep box use as part of hospital distribution programs. Pip & Grow welcomes partnerships that will further advance the science behind infant sleep boxes.
